    Not here to answer your question but what is your band and when are you playing... I will fit it into our schedule!
  4. CoogiSweater
    I'll give it a cross post over there. I have also listed this on eBay and someone has said they will make a bid on the listing - so this may well be gone by the end of the week.

  9. Jolltax started following Donny Benet?

    Just found him through Justin Hawkins who recommended him on his channel. He has got something weird but wonderful going on here, clearly a talented guy. He is a great player, I'm watching his videos and I'm laughing as well as really enjoying his playing - I got to assume he has irony turned up to 11, absolutely brilliant J

    Thanks, but alas 6 is my max.

  15. Leonard Smalls started following Bass on a train!

    I've decided to go to our gig at Rebellion in Blackpool on the train in order to personally save the planet etc... (rest of band all arriving on different days). As they're providing an AmpegSVT and 8x10 I only need to take bass, helix and an array of funky shoes and trees. However, luggage policy seems a little confused - anyone know if train travel is easily possible with bass in soft case? It says max size 1m!

    So decision made, I’ve gone for simplicity. My doubling gig has become a full on acoustic gig (with PA support of course) so I’ve decided to go with two boards as the combined board was starting to look like I might be over compensating for something. This will be the electric bass board and has only what I need to make my beautiful basses sound more beautiful. The Capo and the Empress are recent purchases but boy are they good/worth the money in my book.

    Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Can post at buyers expense or can be collected from BB22SH Any questions please ask.

    I did indeed and it is a great bass 😁 Its price tag does not reflect how well made it is and how good it sounds either. Both my semi acoustics aren’t being used for the simple reason all my work requires Precisions and something with 22 frets.
  21. Hellzero started following Voltage to change batteries
  22. Hellzero
    It all depends on the opamp used, some will still work with very low voltage...
  23. Slug Ice started following Fender PB-62 US / Squier Silver Series MIJ Precision Bass - 3.6kg *Read Description*

    Thank you Kev , It's really special and if I manage to move some other equipment I'll withdraw this . All the best , Tony

    Your edition is a fake as "recherche" is feminine, the correct title must be "À la recherche du temps perdu". That said any Harry Potter book would have done the job perfectly, furthermore they are available in different thicknesses for perfect angling.

    Hi Aberdeen bass players. . . . did any of you play with Dave Innes? I gigged with him a lot down here in London. One of the best drummers I played with, he is sadly missed.

    very nice indeed. Dave

  32. HeadlessBassist started following String Height
  33. HeadlessBassist
    For slap playing, you want the action medium low - around 2mm (pictured) between the 12th fret and the bottom of the E-string. That way you get a little rebound off the strings. If action is too low, it will feel flat and too unresponsive to slap. Also, make sure you look underneath the strings in between the end of the fingerboard and the neck pickup. You should see a graduated curve between the strings. The A-string should be highest, with equal distances downwards to the D & G strings (pictured). You'll know the shape of the curve when you see it. At the end of the day, action is more about personal preference. Some people like hugely thick strings with massive unbendable amounts of string tension with a high action that they can really hit hard, and others like a lighter string, lower action, with lower string tension, so they can readily bend, and most importantly, for the bass to work with them, as opposed to fighting against them. I never thought to ask... What bass do you have, and what string gauge do you use?
